Bad news: fans of whimsical action games. Kena: Bridge of Spirits is delayed from its 2020 holiday release date. It'll now be out on Q1 2021. The delay is due to the fact that the game needs more polishing that meets developer Ember Lab Team's vision and player expectations. https://twitter.com/emberlab/status/1304525121181364225 That's go...
Platform(s): PS4, PC, Xbox OneGenre: Square Enix and Marvel-branded loot-based online action game I'm not sure what the allure is with games like Destiny.

We're in the middle of June, and we've already seen a boatload of game previews and a couple of new console showcases.

Capcom just released a new trailer for its upcoming release of feudal Japan-centric action game Sengoku Basara 4: Sumeragi Anniversary Edition. Think Dynasty Warriors but Japan and even more silly hyper-action combat; that's Sengoku Basara in a nutshell. It's essentially a beefed-up version of the 2015-released Sengoku Basara 4 since it is the ser...

Late last month, a friend of mine pointed out that I always placed an emphasis on the weapon feedback of a shooter. While our conversation didn't stray from the topic of shooters, I have a similar mindset towards action games or action-heavy games of any kind.
